A bouillabaisse of fascinating facts about fish and other marine life
What is the FishFAQ?
The National Marine Fisheries Service (now NOAA Fisheries) annually answers thousands of questions about the oceans and the life that thrives within them. On the basis of a canvass of experienced marine scientists in the Fisheries Service done in 1973, more than a hundred questions have been chosen as most representative. These are the Most Frequently Asked Questions containing some fascinating facts about fish.
Access the original FAQ site here. It was one of our very first web pages in 1993, and won awards back in the day.
